  • Seven (7) days immediately preceding the day set by Statute for the observance of Canada Day and on Canada Day.

Payment for Licences/Permits

You can pay for your application with a debit/credit card on Cloudpermit using Paymentus. Paymentus is a third-party service provider, which enables debit/credit card holders to make permit payments with Visa, Mastercard, and debit with a 2.89% service fee payable to Paymentus.

Two charges will appear on your card statement when you use the online payment option through Cloudpermit:

A principal payment amount (application fees), showing as a payment to the Township of Scugog

A service fee amount, showing as a payment to Paymentus-Service-Fee 

Please note that credit card payments are accepted for online payments only.  Credit card payments will not be accepted at the Municipal Office.

We understand that not everyone has access to or are well-versed in the online sphere, so traditional processes for paper applications and in-person payments will still be available at the Township Office should you prefer that method.  Please contact the Bylaw Department at 905-985-7346 ext. 121 or bylaw@scugog.ca.
